Ingredients
Scale
- 13.8 oz store-bought pizza dough
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried parsley)
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep The Dough: Unroll pizza dough onto a floured surface. Cut into 1-inch strips, then halve to make 20-24 breadsticks. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Make Garlic Butter: Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl (30-45 seconds). Stir in minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt until fragrant.
- Brush And Bake: Brush the garlic butter generously over the dough strips. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and puffed. If pale, bake 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve Warm: Immediately sprinkle optional Parmesan cheese over the warm breadsticks. Serve these aromatic breadsticks straight away.
Notes
Prioritize fresh garlic and parsley for the best flavor and color. Ensure parchment paper covers the entire baking surface to prevent sticking. For a subtle warmth, a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the garlic butter.
